“Perfect”

Reviewed 17 September 2013
for a stay in September 2013

We could not fault this beautiful place - the location was ideal and the property was gorgeous, extremely comfortable and well stocked. Rosemary and John are lovely people who made every effort to make our stay enjoyable and my only complaint is that it would have been nice to stay for longer! We hope to return soon. Most impressive, would highly recommend this to anyone who visits Ireland.

Thank you for saying such complimentary things about our beautiful Old Rectory. I appreciate your taking the time to do this when you are so busy with a young baby. We hope we shall see you all here again sometime soon - if you can bear to leave sunny California!

This is an absolutely stunning property. Very clean. It has been recently been very tastefully renovated and decorated. The location is perfect for access to Belfast, the north coast, County Down and to the centre of N.Ireland. Iris virtually at the end of the M5.

We had a party of 7 which included 2 seniors who had mobility issues but with the downstairs bedroom this was not a problem.

There were ensuites in each bedroom which was wonderful.

The kitchen was very well equipped and had a large eating area which allowed everyone including guests to dine together.

To top everything off we had a wonderful view of Belfast Loch. Some of party took advantage of walks along the sea wall.

We would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

Thank you for giving our beautiful house such a wonderful review. I'm so pleased that it worked out so well for your family with 3 generations coming for your son's wedding. We even arranged for you to have sunshine as well! Again, many thanks.

This property was renovated recently. No expense spared! The very best of quality in every room with a cottage feel. Located at end of M5 which means its close to everything, overlooking Belfast lough and harbor, with a nice coastal walk. The owners were very accommodating. The kitchen was very well stocked and fluffy towels in the bathrooms. You will not be disappointed!
